“Including being together with ?”
“Yes.”
“Including us becoming true husband and wife, and you loving the best you can, having children with , and keeping happy for the rest of my life?”
Wen He tilted her head and threw question after question at him. She asked about things like love and happiness but with an out-of-place stone-cold attitude.
Huo Chen hesitated for rely a second before he nodded.
“Yes.”
“Hah...”
Wen He chuckled with dripping sarcasm and impassivity.
“You know, the way you nodded just now was just like a man handing out charity. I, on the other hand, am the beggar asking for love.”
Before Huo Chen could deny anything, she added, “Perhaps you think the word ‘charity’ is too extre. Let try sothing else. How about ‘sympathy’, ‘pity’, or ‘compensation’? Which one do you prefer?”
Huo Chen went pale, shocked by her words.
“Wen He...”
“‘Compensation’, then. It sounds better.”
Wen He continued speaking, oblivious to his stunned reaction. “You want to be with not because of love, but because I saved your life and nearly died for it. You feel that you owe , that is why you are willing to spend the rest of your life making it up to by making my wishes co true.”
Wen He said those words without any hint of anger, but with horrible detachnt.
Huo Chen felt a huge weight on his chest and found it difficult to breathe.
He wanted to tell her that she was wrong.
However, she was not.
“The way you treat is exactly like that. Huo Chen, love cannot be given as a present or compensation.”
Wen He sighed and tucked away all her misery and pain into the deepest, darkest corner of her heart.
“I appreciate your kindness, but I will not accept it.”
“...”
Huo Chen was speechless.
This was the key to the ss between them.
Even if he could convince himself to be together with her, he could not fake both his and her true feelings.
“You should go, Huo Chen.”
Wen He smiled at him. Unlike her usual charming and alluring smile, it felt more gentle and warm, much like her na [1].
“I don’t bla you. After all, you did nothing wrong, so you have no reason to feel guilty toward . For all the tis that you have helped , it is only fair that I pay you back this once. Besides, I am still alive, so technically you do not owe anything.”
She inhaled deeply and smiled more brightly at the man she had given her heart to.” Hope you support our new website “”
“In fact, I was not lying earlier. I really don’t like you that way anymore.”
Huo Chen felt dizzy from the confession like soone had punched him in the face. After a long while, he heard himself asking, “You don’t?”
“Mmhmm.” Wen He shrugged and kept her tone light. “Humans can love more than one person in their lives. I am not so foolish as to wait forever for a man who will not reciprocate my love. Huo Chen, since we have everything out in the open now, you should let go, like , and live your life the way you want.”
“...”
Huo Chen looked at Wen He’s clear expression and felt confused.
She seed to have really let go of him.
He should have felt happy about it, right?
“Leave,” Wen He asked for the third ti.
Huo Chen knew that there was no reason left for him to stay. All the emotions roaring inside him and the alcohol he drank were ssing up his head.
Unable to regain his rationality, he turned away dispiritedly and started taking step after chanical step toward the door.
When he reached the door and opened it, he spoke softly, “I’m sorry, Wen He.”
